Sinn Féin: We could give back €600-€2k to families

Sinn Féin has claimed it could give back between €600 and €2,000 to the average family if it was in control of the budget purse strings.

It said it would do this through pension hikes, public service pay cuts, high-earner taxes, and by abolishing property and water taxes.

The party outlined its fully costed alternative budget document as the Cabinet met to finalise the Coalition’s actual budget for Tuesday.
